The food authenticity testing market, based on target testing, is segmented as meat speciation, country of origin and aging, adulteration tests, and false labeling. The adulteration tests segment is projected to be largest, and the meat speciation segment is projected to be the fastest growing in the food authenticity testing market through 2022. The increasing number of food frauds due to the complexity of the supply chain also contributed to the market growth.

The food authenticity testing market, on the basis of technology, is segmented into PCR-based, LC-MS/MS, isotope methods, immunoassay-based, and others, which includes NMR spectroscopy, test kits, and chemical tests. The PCR-based technology witnesses an increased use in food authenticity testing. It is a molecular technique that uses DNA for the analysis of meat and food products, providing precise results on testing. The technology amplifies fragments of DNA extracted from the food product samples to accurately identify the DNA of each species in the product. This enables cross-checking of the product’s authenticity and confirmation of product claims. LC-MS/MS represents the second largest technology segment in the market. This technology is used to detect the authenticity in the food products as well. The testing market through PCR-based technologies is largely driven by its wide applicability, accurate determination of adulterant, meat species or GMO in products even at 0.1% levels of detection.

The food authenticity testing market, based on food tested, is categorized into meat & meat products, dairy & dairy products, processed foods, ingredients, cereals, grains, and pulses. The processed food segment is projected to be the largest segment, whereas the meat & meat products segment is projected to witness the fastest growth in the market. The growth of the processed food segment is attributed to a wide number of processing applications of products such as infant formula, packaged food, wine, and other processed food products. Due to the increasing fraud and counterfeit instances in processed food products, the demand for the food authentication testing services remains high in this segment. On account of these factors, the processed food segment is projected to be the largest in the food authenticity testing market.


The Asia-Pacific region is projected to be the fastest-growing market through 2022 due to the increasing food safety concerns among the consumers and the growing market for processed food. France is projected to be fastest-growing country in the European region. European countries have recorded many issues related to food authenticity; as a result, stringent policies have been established to ensure complete food authenticity. Food safety authorities in Europe aim to protect consumer health by ensuring the quality of the food supply chain.

OPPORTUNITY: The growing potential of dairy and plant proteins

There is a huge potential for the growing protein ingredients market in the near future, especially dairy and plant proteins. Dairy protein suppliers can continue to benefit from the trend towards more functional products, and the increased consumer interest in the nutritional value of products. Dairy proteins are known to possess a wide range of functional properties, including thickening & emulsification, gelling, foaming, heat stabilization, and flavor/color development. Their high nutritional quality and versatile, functional properties enable their usage in dairy desserts, nutritional beverages, ice cream, yogurt, spreads, confectionery, and baked goods.

CHALLENGE: Demand-based price fluctuations in cropping pattern

Even though the prices of soy proteins are comparatively lower than most of the proteins, the supply can prove to be a significant factor in price escalation. The raw material for soy protein ingredients is soy meal, which is also highly demanded by the feed industry. Unless there is no drop in the cultivation area under soybeans, the supply is expected to remain unfazed for both feed and protein manufacturers.

The Asia Pacific is projected to be the fastest-growing during the forecast period

Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing region in the global protein ingredients market. The market in the region is driven by an increase in population growth, especially in countries such as China and India. Further, a rise in demand for healthy food products having a high nutritional value such as soy, wheat, and vegetable protein is driving the market in this region.

Oryzenin Market: Growth Opportunities and Recent Developments

The report Oryzenin Market by Type (Isolates, Concentrates), Application (Bakery & Confectionery, Meat Analogs & Extenders, Sports & Energy Nutrition, Dairy Alternatives, Beverages), Form (Dry, Liquid), and Region – Global Forecast to 2022″, is estimated at USD 88.2 Million in 2016 and is projected to reach USD 198.2 Million by 2022, at a CAGR of 14.5% during the forecast period. The market is driven by factors such as the increasing demand for rice protein due to its functional properties, growth in consumption of plant protein, cost-effectiveness of plant protein as compared to animal protein, and the increasing awareness among consumers towards the importance of protein.

On the basis of application, the oryzenin market was led by sports & energy nutrition, followed by beverages, in 2015. Sports & energy nutrition was the leading segment, owing to the increase in the consumption of sports & energy drinks due to the trend of healthy living among consumers. The application of oryzenin in sports & energy nutrition is attributed to its high amino acid profile and branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), which are essential for athletes and bodybuilders for muscle recovery. Oryzenin increased lean body mass skeletal muscle hypertrophy, power, and strength similar to whey protein. This segment has potential for growth in the near future, with increasing application of oryzenin as a nutrition enhancer in food products.


On the basis of form, the dry segment accounted for a larger market share in 2015. The dry form dominated the oryzenin market as it is easy to handle and can be transported easily with lower expenses, which has increased the demand for dry oryzenin powder. In addition, the liquid form needs further processing to be extracted from the dry form, thus increasing the investment.

The rapid growth of economies in Europe has led to the increase in demand for protein. This factor has resulted in the growth of low-cost protein sources such as vegetable proteins that can be used as substitutes for other protein ingredients. European consumers are emphasizing more on healthier lifestyles; hence, protein product manufacturers need to focus on reducing consumer fears concerning its allergies and safety issues. Gluten is found to cause allergies and it has been estimated that up to 90% of protein in wheat is gluten. Amongst northern European consumers, 30% carry genes for gluten intolerance. This creates tremendous opportunity for other sources of proteins which are free from gluten such as rice protein.

On the basis of target tested, the pathogen testing segment accounted for the largest share, followed by the species identification segment, in 2018. Improper storage of raw meat can cause pathogen contamination in raw meat; also, cross-contamination leads to the contamination of meat & seafood by foreign particles, which leads to food recalls. Additionally, due to the complex process and supply chain, concerns about cross contamination during storage, transportation, handling, and repacking are rising. This gives rise to food safety and standard issues with respect to contaminants and undeclared species that may be life-threatening to consumers. This is driving the market for species identification testing.

The meat testing market, on the basis of sample type, is segmented into pigmeat, poultry, sheep & goat, beef, and seafood. Poultry meat accounted for the largest market share in 2018, followed by pigmeat. The poultry segment in the meat testing market includes meat from various breeds of hen, ducks, turkeys, quails, and pheasants. The consumption of poultry meat is increasing worldwide as there are more ready-to-eat products available in the market containing poultry meat as compared to other meat; hence, consumer concerns regarding the safety of poultry meat products are rising.

On the basis of technology, PCR technology accounted for the largest share in 2018, followed by immunoassay testing technologies. The benefit of PCR technology is its automated approach to testing that provides quick results. Thus, it is used widely for the detection of unidentified species.
